The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNzHTexLl1
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSlbU9J3VL
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0znTNLlJy
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8y1rrQkKA
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANpBFAajIB
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX44FxbipC
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6UJz9tk9J
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX9ozaD1mw
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS1rlPgECg
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSs50Zu58F
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgALuFeuKL
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXLH0jujzZ
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UFDrd99r
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQXI2imEU
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt48lDhHNeN
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxgWoI6OPM
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBBR7DWvwA
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWMir3tktZ
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h6RncpGQb
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojkpY91S9
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdarF39UsxQ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jTesLhgUm
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObRrFaoNX0
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ39jyvVvl
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPQdz8I0Ar
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6D3cAX21h
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOeGFXqMc6
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb8ewcRbl4
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoYET6tgP
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡActPduSi6t
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDkBJOcFt
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYXayuvnI
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9hPzkKLCL
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIF4MaZ14C
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0N8sJwBrj
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJl496dB0
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dO6KuJFG8
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nGR5BQeBm
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oqe45OVRQ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscUsOPPcOC
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZohnDORwP
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObkGCXgHXt
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZJMDnfyi
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkbrZ4EZeO
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnackwOHwM
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR74VmsrO5r
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpsJO1Y0TC
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kKINZqcQ
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp4ACbXuHt
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9QOBpVI9S
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
